General



WARNING

DO NOT use this product or any available optional equipment without first completely reading and understanding these instructions and

any additional instructional material such as owner’s manuals, service manuals or instruction sheets supplied with this product or optional

equipment. If you are unable to understand the warnings, cautions or instructions, contact a healthcare professional, dealer or technical



ACCESSORIES WARNING

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by

other manufacturers have not been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.

!

NOTICE

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.



WARNING

The Invacare patient lift is NOT a transport device. It is intended to transfer an individual from one resting surface to another (such as a bed

to a wheelchair).

DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient’s physician, nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in

this Owner’s Manual, observe a trained team of experts perform the lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several

times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a patient.

Use common sense in all lifts. Special care MUST BE taken with people with disabilities who cannot cooperate while being lifted.

Invacare slings and patient lift accessories are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with Invacare patient lifts. Slings and accessories

designed by other manufacturers are not to be utilized as a component of Invacare’s patient lift system.

If the patient lift is exposed to extreme temperature (above 100°F or below 32°F), high humidity and/or becomes wet, prior to use, ensure

handgrips do not twist on patient lift handle - otherwise damage or injury may occur.

WARNING

DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.



WARNING

Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation, transferring from and transferring to procedures, our

equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional

for each individual case.

Make sure there is an audible click when mounting battery on the battery charger to confirm proper mounting. Otherwise, injury or

damage may occur.

DO NOT exceed maximum weight limitation of the patient lift. The weight limitation for the RHL450-1 and RPL450-1 is 450 lbs. The

weight limitation for the RPL600-1 is 600 lbs.

ALWAYS keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts to avoid injury.

9 Manual/Electric Portable Patient Lift

Using the Sling

Lifting the Patient



WARNING

Use an Invacare approved sling that is recommended by the individual’s doctor, nurse or medical assistant for the comfort and safety of the

individual being lifted.

DO NOT use any kind of plastic back incontinence pad or seating cushion between patient and sling material that may cause the patient to

slide out of the sling during transfer.

After each laundering (in accordance with instructions on the sling), inspect sling(s) for wear, tears, and loose stitching.

Bleached, torn, cut, frayed, or broken slings are unsafe and could result in injury. Discard immediately.

DO NOT alter slings.

Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is properly attached before the patient

is removed from a stationary object (bed, chair or commode).

If the patient is in a wheelchair, secure the wheel locks in place to prevent the chair from moving forwards or backwards.

When connecting slings equipped with color coded straps to the patient lift, the shortest of the straps MUST be at the back of patient for

support. Using long section will leave little or no support for patient's back. The loops of the sling are color coded and can be used to place

patient in various positions. The colors make it easy to connect both sides of the sling equally. Make sure that there is sufficient head

support when lifting a patient.



WARNING

When using an adjustable base lift, the legs MUST be in the maximum Opened/Locked position before lifting the patient.

When elevated a few inches off the surface of the stationary object (wheelchair, commode, or bed) and before moving the patient, check

again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the hooks of the swivel bar. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower

the patient back onto the stationary object (wheelchair, commode, or bed) and correct this problem.

Adjustments for safety and comfort should be made before moving the patient. Patient's arms should be inside of the straps.

Invacare slings are made specifically for use with Invacare Patient Lifts. For the safety of the patient, DO NOT intermix slings and patient

lifts of different manufacturers. Warranty will be voided.

During transfer, with patient suspended in a sling attached to the lift, DO NOT roll caster base over uneven surfaces that could cause the

patient lift to tip over. Use steering handle on the mast at all times to push or pull the patient lift.

Invacare does not recommend locking of the rear casters of the patient lift when lifting an individual. Doing so could cause the lift to tip and

endanger the patient and assistants. Invacare does recommend that the rear casters be left unlocked during lifting procedures to allow the

patient lift to stabilize itself when the patient is initially lifted from a chair, bed or any stationary object.



WARNING

When elevated a few inches off the surface of the stationary object (wheelchair, commode, or bed) and before moving the patient, check

again to make sure that the sling is properly connected to the hooks of the swivel bar. If any attachments are not properly in place, lower

the patient back onto the stationary object (wheelchair, commode, or bed) and correct this problem.

Wheelchair wheel locks MUST be in a locked position before lowering the patient into the wheelchair for transport.

Before transferring, check that the wheelchair weight capacity can withstand the patient's weight.

Be sure to check the sling attachments each time the sling is removed and replaced, to ensure that it is properly attached before the patient

is removed from the bed or chair.

Mast pivot under the rubber boot must be tight to ensure safe use of the patient lift. Bolt must be checked at least every six months in

conjunction with periodic maintenance.



WARNING

Maintenance MUST be performed ONLY by qualified personnel.

The pump is sealed at the factory. DO NOT attempt to open the pump or obtain local service as this will VOID the warranty and might

result in damage. Consult your dealer or write Invacare for further information.

After the first year of use, the hooks of the swivel bar and the mounting brackets of the boom should be inspected every three months to

determine the extent of wear. If these parts become worn, replacement must be made.

Casters and axle bolts require inspections every six months to check for tightness and wear.

After the first twelve months of operation, inspect the swivel bar and the eye of the boom (to which it attaches) for wear. If the metal is

worn, the parts MUST be replaced. Make this inspection every six months thereafter.

Regular maintenance of patient lifts and accessories is necessary to assure proper operation.

DO NOT overtighten mounting hardware. This will damage mounting brackets.

6.1 Operating the Patient Lift

Closing/Opening the Legs of the Base Assembly

The shifter handle is used to open or close the legs of the base for stability when lifting a patient.



Although Invacare recommends that two assistants be used for all lifting preparation, transferring from and transferring to procedures, our

equipment will permit proper operation by one assistant. The use of one assistant is based on the evaluation of the health care professional

for each individual case.



WARNING

The operation of the patient lift is an easy and safe procedure. DO NOT attempt any transfer without approval of the patient's physician,

nurse or medical assistant. Thoroughly read the instructions in this Owner's Manual, observe a trained team of experts performing the

lifting procedures and then perform the entire lift procedure several times with proper supervision and a capable individual acting as a

patient.

The legs of the lift must be in the maximum open position and the shifter handle locked in place for optimum stability and safety. If it is

necessary to close the legs of the lift to maneuver the lift under a bed, close the legs of the lift only as long as it takes to position the lift over

the patient and lift the patient off the surface of the bed. When the legs of the lift are no longer under the bed, return the legs of the lift to

the maximum open position and lock the shifter handle immediately.
